My husband and I have a plant that we call the 'marriage plant' as we keep it in the 'marriage corner' according to feng shui principles, and have carried it with us with each move. Recently, it started sprouting heart-shaped leaves!

I just discovered your blog and I love it! I too am a transplant. I grew up in St. Joseph MO, which is considered small town by many, but now live with my farmer husband on 86 acres in Savannah. We raise a few chickens and some cows as well as hay and row crops. There is always an adventure to be had. I will add your blog to my blog roll.

All those heart rocks that you find around your farm must mean something very special for a very special place and it's very special inhabitants! Truly a gift for all of you. Again, thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.

I love your blog and stumbled on it while looking up how to freeze zucchini. We love heart shaped rocks and my husband and son are always looking for them to give me. I have several that they have found! Great blog...it will take me weeks to read it all but I plan to try! One of my hobbies is finding a good blog and reading it completely then staying updated.

I've found quite a few heart rocks over the years. I am quite a rock-hound. Funny thing is, it's never occurred to me to keep them! Thanks for the idea and I'm sorry to hear about the cold. We've got it here also. Brrr. The critters don't seem to mind.

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
